The big story, however, is the close proximity of the traditional Detroit Three. Chrysler Canada led all automobile manufacturers with 22,303 October 2014 sales, but Ford Canada was just 259 sales back, a slight 1% difference. Moreover, General Motors was only 42 sales behind Ford and Lincoln. Together, they owned 42.8% of the overall market, up from 42.1% a year ago.

This certainly wasnt the only close race. Mazda finished October just 65 sales in front of Kia to end the month as Canadas tenth-best-selling auto brand. Mercedes-Benz and Smart combined to end October 11 sales back of BMW and Mini.

Speaking of BMW, Audi narrowed the October sales gap to just 459 units, down from 1061 units in October 2013. Mercedes-Benz is the so-called "luxury" favourite in Canada, but the three Germans more clearly stand free from the pack as a trio of dominant premium players. They accounted for 5.8% of the overall industrys Canadian October volume, compared with 1% for Cadillac and Lincoln and 3.2% for Acura, Infiniti, and Lexus.

There havent been more than 20 long-wheelbase Escalade ESVs sold in a single month since August 2012, not more than 30 since April 2010. Presumably, this new Escalade will sell more frequently.

In the meantime, Mercedes-Benz has ratcheted up sales of the GL-Class. GL volume jumped 20% in 2011, 7% in 2012, and 30% in 2013. The GL fell 11% through the first five months of 2014, but sales shot up 73% in June. 

Land Rover Range Rover sales, meanwhile, quintupled in June. The Range Rover outsold the Infiniti QX80, Lincoln Navigator, and the Escalade family combined last month.
